The investigation of a fire and explosion at a Texas fertilizer plant that killed 14 people hasn’t pinpointed the cause, which may include a faulty golf cart, the facility’s electrical system or an intentional act.
The probe is continuing, with none of the three possible causes ruled out, Robert Champion, an official with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said at a news conference yesterday in West, Texas.
